GARMENT-HANGER.

5?3ECIFIOATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 710,773, dated October '7, 1902.

Application filed February 14,1902. Serial No. 94,082, (No d l.)

To (Ii/Z whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, hrlAX GORDON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of \Vaterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to'new and useful improvements in garment hangers, and is adapted to be attached to the collar of a garment in a manner to permit of the same being suspended from a hook or like support.

It. is the object of the invention to provide a hanger which may be constructed of metal in an inexpensive, simple, and durable manner and in such a way that it may be attached to a garment without the necessity of sewing, as is necessary with the common form of hangers now in use.

\Vith the above objects in view my invention resides and consists in the novel construction and combination of parts shown upon the accompanying sheet of drawings, forming a part of this specification, upon which similar letters of reference denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several figures, and of which- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a coateollar having my improved hanger attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the hanger employed in Fig. 1, the same being shown attached to a garment. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the hangershown in the preceding figures. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 show a detail side elevation and perspective views, respec tively, of the several parts of my hanger.

As before stated, my invention has been devised with a view of avoiding the employment of needle and thread or, in fact, instruments of any sort with which to secure its attachment to the garment. The device therefore, briefly, comprises a stud having a suspending-ring and a detachable point to penetrate the garment, together with clampingplates, nuts, &c.,to secure the hanger to the garment.

Referring in detail to the reference characters marked upon the drawings, A indicates a stud which comprises the main stem of my hanger, B the head of such stud and to which is pivotally attached a loop C, by means of which the device and garment are suspended from any ordinary hook. This loop, as will he observed, is adapted to swing around to either side against the coat-collar, as shown in Fig. 1, so as to practically be out of the way when not in use and also to present a neat appearance. The lower-extremity of the stud is provided with a point D, which permits the stud to be inserted through the gar merit-collar without the use of an awl or other instrument. This stud is further, provided with a threaded periphery and an annular groove E at substantially the beginning of the taper of the point before mentioned. This groove weakens the stud at this point and permits of it being broken ott after it is inserted and after the parts have been assembled and set up in place.

F indicates the lower nut or disk, which engages the threads of the stud and is further provided with a toothed edge G to engage the fabric of the garment, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.

H represents an upper disk, which in practice is placed on the stud prior to its insertion through the garmentand is drawn up in place against the garment byscrewint, the threaded stud into the threaded disk F before mentioned. This upper disk is also provided with a toothed edge to engage the fabric and prevent its turning and loosening of the parts. This upper disk is further provided with a pair of lugs I I, which may be formed by striking up the sheet metal of the disk so as to protrude slightly from the surface in a manner to be engaged by the head of the stud. The under side of the head of the stud is provided with recesses J J to register with these lugs when the head is turned down tightly against the same. This forms a locking device to prevent the stud from accidentally becoming unscrewed and detached from the garment. The number of these notches or lugs may be increased, if desired, so as to effect a more tight adjustmentof the parts with a small turn of the stud, as will be obvious.

Having thus described my invention, What 1 claim, and desire to' secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a hanger for garments, the combination with a threaded stud provided with a head and a loop secured to the head, of engaging plates attached to the stud the lower one being threaded, and means interposed between the upper plate and the head of the stud to prevent the stud from unturning, substantially as described.

2. In a hanger for garments, the combination with a stud having a head with notches upon its under side, means for supporting said garment, such as a loop, a nut to engage the lower end of the stud and an upper plate interposed between the head of the stud and the outer nut, a lug upon said plate to be engaged by the notches of the head in a manner to prevent the stud from turning off.

3. In a hanger for garments, the combination with a threaded stud bearing a head, of a loop attached to said head adapted to support the hanger and garment, a removable point secured to the stud to insure its free introduction through the garment, a clampingplate and an outer nut to secure the stud to the garment and a device interposed between thestud and the plate, to prevent them from turning independently.

4. The combination in a hanger for garments, of a stud bearing a head, a loop hinged thereto,a plate upon the stud havinga toothed edge to engage the garment, a lug upon the plate and a notch upon the underside of the head of the stud adapted to interlock in a manner to prevent the turning of the stud independent of the plate, and a nut to engage the outer end of the stud and to be drawn up against the fabric, substantially as described.

Signed at Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, this 10th day of February, A. D. 1902.

MAX GORDON.
